MY PARISIAN HOME AWAY FROM HOME

One of the things I love about coming back to Shangri-La Paris is the feeling of being home away from home. During my Paris trip a couple of weeks ago I returned to my all-time favourite hotel in Paris which was actually my 4th time visiting the hotel and the 3rd time staying there. Every time I come back I lose my breath for a minute because of the view, the beautiful rooms and the overall atmosphere of the hotel. Today I am sharing some of my shots while visiting the hotel.Jednu z věcí, kterou miluju na hotelu Shangri-La Paris, je pocit se cítit jako doma. V hotelu jsem teď byla již po čtvrté, z toho třikrát jsem v něm byla ubytovaná. Vždycky když vidím Eiffelovku přímo z pokoje, na chvíli skoro ztratím dech. Shangri-La patří k jedněm z mála hotelů, kam se ráda vracím a který bych každému mohla jen doporučit!

I have already introduced the hotel to you in THIS post so if you would like to read some basic information and fact, just click here. However one of the things which I would like to highlight in this post is their amazing Krug Terrace, also known as Le Bar à ciel ouvert by Krug, which is located on the 4th floor of the hotels and offers an amazing view on the Eiffel Tower in a very intimate atmosphere (check my post from there here). The "bar" which is placed in one of their room 410 (after removing the furniture) has a limited availability of only 16 outside seats and 14 inside seats which gives you an amazing and most importantly private experience. On the menu you'll find of course the Krug Champagne next to some special hotel's signature cocktails and small snacks. If you happen to be in Paris during the summertime, definitely make sure to stop by. I highly recommend to make a reservation since the seats are very limited. The bar opened until 16th of September!

Also, if you happen to be in town and love Chinese cuisine, make sure to visit the Shang Palacewhich is located inside of the hotel and happens to be the only Chine restaurant with a Michelin star in the whole country! We made a reservation while staying the hotel and our experience was just amazing. On the menu you'll find a combination of traditional and modern Chinese cuisine, including dishes like fish, duck, noodles or rice. We started with a Chinese eggplant which I can recommend to everyone. I've never tasted the Chinese eggplant however the preparation in the restaurant was amazing. We shared a lobster as a main course which was delicious as well (I mean, who doesn't love a good lobster, right?!). They have also an amazing selection of desserts, wines and champagnes to finish off your dinner. If you don't enjoy the Chinese cuisine so much, make sure to check their more international restaurant, La Bauhinia, which I already talked about in this post.

Well I sure do know where I'm staying next time I'm in paris. The views are just blowing my mind, to have such a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower is really a treasure and something that I'm sure you would never forget and very few things would compare. I love how in depth you went about the food. I've been to China actually two times now, and the food is one of my favorite parts of it. Especially the more modern Chinese and Southern Asian food they serve there, however, you've really intrigued me to try out this Chinese restaurant if I do and when I visit this hotel. I love these types of posts, please keep them up and I hope you're having a lovely weekend. xx
